2012 Tour News

The Adelante Tour involves a series of national economic empowerment forums supported by a digital community, presented by The Coca-Cola Company, that motivate, educate, activate and connect.

MOTIVATE - You will be inspired by Latinas such as Sandra Cisneros and others, who will help you find your mission and voice and reawaken your deepest goals—all while showing you how to leverage your talents and skills.

EDUCATE - You will learn from successful women in and out of our culture, step-by-step, about how they achieved success.

ACTIVATE - You will propel yourself forward by creating an elite network of women who will hold you accountable.

CONNECT – We will bring you exclusive Adelante information and opportunities and help you broker relationships between the Latinas of the The Adelante Movement, including:

You will laugh. You will cry. You will bond—all while becoming empowered with real opportunities and access to money.

If you would like to hear more about other hermanas’ experience on The Adelante Tour, please visit our Facebook Page and chat with other Power Latinas who have already joined The Adelante Movement and taken action on behalf of themselves and their families.

I have been meeting so many of you around the country and the big thing that comes up is fear, and feelings of giving up. I feel fear everyday so I can relate, and as you get older it gets worse. But we are not alone…we are all in the same boat, and I encourage you as I encourage myself to not give up. This is our moment, our time and fear is not a fact— it’s just a feeling.

Last month I shared with you that we are working on developing a series of tools and resources to help you build financial wealth and lead a richer life. We are not ready to roll this out just yet but know that it will have a significant technology component. I won’t lie to you…the last few months have been a crash course for me on technology!
